Seeing Li Hongjiu actually standing here, speaking righteously to Master Nine, Shi Chun suddenly felt something was amiss and realized that Li Hongjiu, this smiling tiger, was truly not a good person.
Only now did he understand—the nonsense about his connection with Wu Shanshan was not about verifying the truth or falsity. What Li Hongjiu was truly doing was probing Master Nine's position. If Master Nine genuinely went on to verify Wu Shanshan's relationship with him, it would, to some degree, already be a concession.
Evidently, not only Shi Chun found it strange that the terrifying presence here didn't act, the opposition clearly had sensed it too.
Li Hongjiu was still negotiating and haggling, merely because of his uncertainties; he dared not act recklessly and was probing further.
For some reason, Shi Chun suddenly felt like he understood Li Hongjiu, as though he was someone who had crawled out of the same den.
